Simsbury nonprofit A Promise to Jordan and the Simsbury Lions Club are teaming up to present “Ks to Kick Addiction and Blindness” on Saturday, June 12, 2021 to support the community and humanitarian services of the Lions Club and the mission of A Promise to Jordan to raise awareness of the problem of substance use disorders in our communities, erase the stigma, and assist people in accessing quality care. The event will be held from 9:00 A. M. to 1:00 P. M. at Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center and will consist of a 5K and 10K fun run and walk and a 15K bike ride along the rails-to-trails path in Simsbury.
“We are very excited to be partnering with the Simsbury Lions Club for the first time on this important event, and our task force has been working hard to make this a great day for everyone who comes out to join us,” said Lisa Gray, Founder and Executive Director of A Promise to Jordan. “Individuals can choose to join us, or set up a team and collect contributions. There will be a prize for the team that raises the most money.”
Gray also noted that marketing and volunteer opportunities associated with the event are available. Interested businesses can “adopt” a portion of the walking or biking track, set up a vendor space, and more.
Registration is now open for the event on the A Promise to Jordan website, apromisetojordan.org. Just click on the “Upcoming Events” tab at the top. Each event costs just $20 per person to enter.
